Jack's ears

Ok, I don't mean to be picky or obsess on this, but Jack is 12 weeks old and his ears still have not come up!!! Not even a little bit!! I don't want to tape his ears up, should I worry that they are not coming up? I never had this come up with my previous Corgis???

The bigger the ear, the more likely are to need assistance it seems. We left the tape on for only a day or 2 at a time and after each time his ears looked better. We only taped a total of 4 times and by 19 weeks they were totally up. We also added cottage cheese to one meal a day for added calcium and massaged his ears. Here's the taping tutorial I found most useful:
